In this study, a field experiment was conducted at the Minqin Experimental Station of the Gansu Institute of Hydraulic Sciences between 2016 and 2018 to investigate the influence of dual mulching with crushed wheat straw padding and plastic film combined with different irrigation amounts on soil nutrients and the growth of edible sunflower. The experiment was conducted using a two-factor design with four mulching methods and three irrigation levels. The results of the study revealed that the soil nutrients under the dual mulching of crushed wheat straw padding and plastic film showed significant improvement. The soil nutrient status showed a significant improvement by mulching in comparison with no mulching, and the dual mulching of crushed wheat straw padding and plastic film gave the best results compared to other mulching methods. The medium irrigation level shows better soil nutrient improvement as compared to other irrigation levels. The results obtained from the current experimental study in the Minqin oasis area with drought and little rain revealed that edible sunflowers can be grown under the dual mulching method of crushed wheat straw padding and plastic film as an optimal conservation tillage method.
The Scheme of Control and Enforcement Scheme (Scheme) of the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) applies to all fishing vessels used or intended for use in fishing activities conducted on fisheries resources in the Regulatory Area. The scheme is divided into seven chapters: General Provisions (I), Control Measures (II), Monitoring of Fisheries (III), Vessel[…]
For the purpose of ensuring that fishing activities are in compliance with South Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA) Conservation and Management Measures (CMMs), this CMM provides regulations that make it easier to monitor, control, and monitor fishing activities. It is the responsibility of the Contracting Parties, cooperating non-contracting party (CNCPs), and participating fishing entities (PFEs) to[…]
In the context of sustainable fishing activities, this Regulation establishes specific rules regarding the eligibility of costs associated with operations that aim to protect and restore marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Additionally, this Regulation addresses the eligibility of costs for operations that aim to mitigate climate change and improve the energy efficiency of fishing vessels. Furthermore,[…]
The Third Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) Strategic Plan (2022-2030) sets out a clear roadmap for achieving the CRFM’s vision of effective management, conservation and sustainable use of our fisheries and aquaculture resources, to maximise social and economic benefits in the CRFM Member States. The plan was approved by the Eleventh Special Meeting of the[…]
This measure is based on the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Fishery Resources in the South East Atlantic Ocean, adopted by the Annual Meeting of the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organization (SEAFO) in 2015, establishes the System of Observation, Inspection, Compliance and Enforcement, which shall apply to all fishing vessels and fishing research[…]
